Synopsis
Key Selling Points Young people all over the world are taking action for the environment. This book contains practical tips for making change, starting in your own community. In the book, young people ask Elizabeth about her activism and she answers in her own words. There are also quotes, art and poetry from young activists. Sylvia Olsen wrote the book with Elizabeth's daughter, Cate May Burton. They were able to get to the real story of Elizabeth's life in a way no one else could have. This is both an American and Canadian story. It crosses borders and has international relevance tied to the climate crisis. Until 2019, Elizabeth May held the position of leader of the Green Party of Canada, for 13 years. She is currently a Canadian Member of Parliament for Saanich-Gulf Islands., Elizabeth May was born to be an activist. As a young girl, Elizabeth was worried about the health of the planet and believed it was her job to protect it. While other children were playing, she was raising money for important causes, researching the latest science and organizing protests. Before most people had heard about environmentalism, she was an environmentalist, living by her principle of "I have to do something ." Written with Elizabeth's daughter Cate, this book reveals how Elizabeth's activism led her to politics, first as leader of the Green Party of Canada and later as a Member of Parliament. Filled with environmental facts, profiles of young activists and tips for making change in your own community, this book is part biography and part blueprint for activists in the making., This nonfiction biography introduces middle-grade readers to Elizabeth May. The story of her lifelong environmental and political activism will inspire the next generation.
